Hi. My script "check-nocheck" tells me that the attached patch would

Hi,
I've noticed that your script has made a few mistakes in this area in a
way that's probably easily fixable, so I thought I'd mention it. If you
see "pyproject_hooks._impl.BackendUnavailable: Cannot import
'setuptools.build_meta'" in the build log, then with high probability
the correct fix is to make sure that python3-setuptools is in
Build-Depends without <!nocheck>.
In this case, your fix only works by coincidence (because
python3-ipykernel transitively depends on python3-setuptools), and it
might break again later.
Thanks,
